Kong: Kong setup issue using docker

[jayaprakashr88]

I followed https://hub.docker.com/_/kong/ document to setup kong using docker.
Once after setting up kong-database container, I see below error trace on starting up kong container

I couldn't reproduce. I think you're missing -e "KONG_PG_HOST=kong-database" \

docker run -d --name kong-database \
                -p 5432:5432 \
                -e "POSTGRES_USER=kong" \
                -e "POSTGRES_DB=kong" \
                postgres:9.5

docker run --rm \
    --link kong-database:kong-database \
    -e "KONG_DATABASE=postgres" \
    -e "KONG_PG_HOST=kong-database" \
    kong kong migrations up

docker run -d --name kong \
    --link kong-database:kong-database \
    -e "KONG_DATABASE=postgres" \
    -e "KONG_PG_HOST=kong-database" \
    -e "KONG_PROXY_ACCESS_LOG=/dev/stdout" \
    -e "KONG_ADMIN_ACCESS_LOG=/dev/stdout" \
